DUBLIN, Ohio - The USA will take a commanding lead into the final session of the Presidents Cup, the Sunday singles.

The USA leads 14-8 and will need 4 points in singles to win the cup outright. The USA leads the series 7-1-1.

Singles matches are played out until a team winner is determined.

After a relatively close affair through two days - and long rain delays - the Americans blew it open in Saturday's two sessions. Americans won seven of the 10 matches and halved another.

"They have still got a lot of fight in them," International captain Nick Price said. "But this is a pretty tall order. And I just hope the golfing gods are on our side this afternoon."

Phil Mickelson hit 7-iron around a tree and onto the 18th green that gave the Americans a shot at birdie that Keegan Bradley made for a half-point in a foursomes match the U.S. team once trailed by three holes.

Webb Simpson and Brandt Snedeker defeated Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel 1 up. They rallied from 3 down with six to play to earn the full point. Oosthuizen and Schwartzel, made with three bogeys and a double bogey down the stretch.

Jason Dufner and Zach Johnson managed to finish their 4-and-3 victory against Richard Sterne and Marc Leishman on Saturday night.

Ernie Els and Brendon de Jonge handed Tiger Woods and Matt Kuchar their first loss of the week with a 1-up victory.

Now it's down to singles.

If there is one consolation for the Internationals, it might be this: Many of these American players were on the wrong end of a huge comeback (from 10-6 down) by the Europeans in the 2012 Ryder Cup.

It's something anyway.

This is where the matches stood when play was suspended by darkness Saturday night:
